‘Walkatjurra Walkabout – Walking for Country’

is a celebration of Wangkatja country, a testament to the strength of the community who have fought to stop uranium mining at Yeelirrie for over forty years, and a chance to come together to continue share our commitment to a sustainable future without nuclear.  It is a chance to reconnect with the land, and to revive the tradition of walking for country.

Hi everyone..

The Walkatjurra Walkabout is all set to take off in the bus from Perth on the 16th of August..

We have had quite a few people registered already but there is still room left for more..

Please register here if you are planning on coming so as we have an idea of numbers..
We are sadly saying farewell to our beloved Kitchen TruckIt is with great sorrow that we say goodbye to our amazing kitchen truck that has been so loved and appreciated by the Walkatjurra Walkabout and before us the Great Walk Network.

We are now desperately in need of a replacement kitchen truck and have been looking around for something that is up to the task.. Today we think we have found a truck that would be a great replacement.. It has shelving already installed and a solar set along with a water tank.

The only problem is that it is out of our price range…

But.. When we told the owners what we wanted it for they reduced the price from $6,500 to $5,000.. This seems like a great offer and all we need to do now is raise another $3,000

We have set up a Pozible fundraiser to help us get the money, so if you have a few spare dollars and would like to help it would be greatly appreciated..

This will be our 5th year out in the Goldfields for the Walkatjurra Walkabout and it continues to grow in that area and Internationally..

We are expecting people this year from the UK, USA and Japan to join us on the Walk..

We will send out more of an update over the next week or two about the truck situation and also more on the Walk..

Please share the Pozible with your friends and family through Facebook or emails..

Your continued support is what makes these walks possible…

Hope to see you on the Walk..
